Benefits of technology

[0005]In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide an infant pacifier that in use simulates the sucking action in nutritive feeding from a human breast. It is another object to provide a pacifier that when an infant is latched onto the areola area behind the nipple the infant's lips are flanged out and the nipple makes contact with the hard palate. It is also an object to provide a pacifier that is less likely to be rejected by a nursing baby and which is less likely to result in nipple confusion leading to breast rejection. Other objects and features of the invention will be in part apparent and in part pointed out hereinafter.

Problems solved by technology

It is difficult, however, for a mother to necessarily be available to satisfy all the non-nutritive sucking needs of her baby.
Currently available pacifiers however do not satisfy the above goal.

Brief Description of the Prior Art[0002]The benefits of breast feeding for an infant and for a mother are well established. It is difficult, however, for a mother to necessarily be available to satisfy all the non-nutritive sucking needs of her baby. For example, some women do at times suffer from the discomfort of having cracked and bleeding nipples. Also, for all nursing mothers, and particularly working nursing mothers, it would be highly desirable to have a pacifier that accurately simulated her breast for non-nutritive sucking while the infant and mother are separated.[0003]Currently available pacifiers however do not sa...
